Cannabis recipes

Cannabis has a long history of use, ranging from medicinal applications to recreational enjoyment. On this page, I share recipes centered around cannabis, from delicious dishes to innovative infusions. Whether you're working with CBD or THC as the main ingredient, our recipes offer an accessible way to get started at home.

CBD and THC: two faces of the same plant
It is important to know that CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are two completely different substances, even though they both come from the cannabis plant.

THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects (the "high") that many people associate with cannabis.
CBD, on the other hand, is not psychoactive and is actually praised for its relaxing, anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.

Both have their own unique benefits, our recipes can be adapted depending on your preferences.

Cannabis still evokes mixed reactions, primarily due to its decades-long association with illegal use and negative stereotypes. But with the rise of CBD and growing awareness of its medicinal benefits, this stigma is slowly starting to disappear. We're therefore happy to do our part to show that cannabis can be safe, versatile, and even culinary—when used responsibly.

Whether you're an experienced cannabis user or just curious about the possibilities, I hope our recipes inspire you to explore new flavors and uses.

Let's explore the culinary world of cannabis together!

Cooking with Cannabis

Decarboxylation – What is it and how do you do it?

Raw cannabis contains cannabinoids in an "inactive" form, such as THCA and CBDA. These compounds do not yet have any psychoactive or medicinal effects. By heating them, they lose a small molecule (a carboxyl group), transforming into their active forms: THC and CBD. This process is called decarboxylation .

How to decarboxylate hash or weed:

Preheat the oven to 100°C - 110°C.
Crumble the hash or weed and spread it over a baking sheet lined with baking paper (or use an oven dish lined with aluminum foil).
Place in the oven and let it heat for 30 - 45 minutes.
Once it is dry and crumbly, it is ready to use.

With cannabis, the color will darken slightly during this process. Note that with cannabis, you still need to sift the small pieces after cooking them in, for example, butter or oil, while hashish generally melts nicely in a mixture.

Why do CBD and THC bind to fat?

Fat molecules have a structure that absorbs and retains these cannabinoids. When heated, the cannabinoids bind to the fat molecules, allowing the body to better absorb them.

Does it only work with animal fat?

No! Vegetable fats work just as well, as long as they contain sufficient fatty acids . So as long as If it contains fat, CBD or THC can bind to it and be better absorbed by your body. In this recipe, we'll give you a few examples you can use.

CBD is becoming increasingly well-known as a natural support for promoting well-being. By incorporating it into dishes, you can incorporate it into your daily routine in a tasty and enjoyable way.

To effectively incorporate cannabis into dishes, it must first be decarboxylated – a process where heat releases the active compounds so your body can absorb them.
